The word "intramural" stems from the Latin "intra muros" (between or within the walls). Intramural games/matches are held against other members of the same school (unlike club or varsity sports, who compete against other schools).
Here's why: Flag football, broomball, soccer, putt-putt and longest-drive golf, volleyball, badminton, tennis singles, ice hockey, softball, team bowling, dodgeball, inner-tube water polo, sand volleyball, the list goes on, and the competition can be serious (serious FUN, that is).
Both team sports and individual/dual events exist, as well as co-ed and same-sex teams. Join a residence hall team, or a team through another campus organization. Don't have a team? Sign up as a free-agent and let Campus Rec find you one.
Learn more on the Campus Recreation, Intramurals website or see the intramural teams on sports and clubs-at-a-glance (PDF).
If you want individual fitness but need the motivation of companions or scheduled time, Campus Recreation offers group fitness classes. Aerobics classes, cycling, dance, yoga (chakra yoga, yoga for skiers and boarders, among other forms), Pilates, kickboxing and more. The schedule for the programs vary by semester.
Learn more on the Campus Recreation, Fitness and Instruction website.
